The two examples are:

1. Orca, we learn that Kiera is Sethra, which may, in fact, be an example 
of her shapeshifting abilities, or, as others suggest, may simply be a 
clever, if more mundane, form of disguise. 

2. Issola, where a dragon joins the Lords of Judgement when fighting the 
Jenoine. It was guessed at (and later confirmed by SKZB) that this was 
Devera in another shape.
